Many Italians currently live in Spain and especially in its capital Madrid, one of the most important European cities. Barcelona is also becoming more and more, especially thanks to the presence of numerous start-ups and technology companies, which attract brains from all over Italy. Smaller cities such as Seville, Valencia and many others are very popular for Italian university expats participating in the Erasmus project. However, it is not always easy to find Italian products in Spain, especially in the food sector. For this reason, after a few months from the mother country, many expats are looking for Italian products in Spain. But where can you find original Italian products in Spain?
Supermarkets in Spain
Probably among the Spanish supermarkets most frequented by Italians we find the Mercadona. The Mercadona is practically the Spanish equivalent of our Esselunga, Conad and Coop, with an excellent value for money and a wide choice of any kind of food.
Another popular chain for food quality is SuperCor. Here you will find excellent Spanish products and products imported more or less from all over the world and certainly also from Italy. However, the prices are very high and may not be a good choice for everyday shopping.
Lidl and Aldi are economic chains also present in Spain. They are not generally very appreciated by the average Italian, but it could be a valuable resource especially among Erasmus students. If you are careful, however, you may find some cheap Italian products, such as pasta and sauces.
